Private Mortgage Insurance, Provided by MGIC

Private mortgage insurance is usually required on mortgages with down payments of less than 20% of the property value. But making a 20% down payment can be a barrier to homeownership for many homebuyers. Mortgage insurance was created to reduce that barrier and help more people afford homeownership.

With private mortgage insurance in place, your members can obtain mortgages with smaller down payments — as little as 3% in some cases. With MGIC, your credit union shares the risk of foreclosure, reducing your losses and freeing up your capital for other things — like lending to more members.
